I read miscellaneous books to become a sun god

Chapter 3 There is a golden house in the book

In this world's imperial examinations, the Four Books and Five Classics are tested, but the Four Books are the most important, and the Five Classics only needs to choose one of them as the main scripture.

In fact, it is the Four Books and One Classic.

Gu Sheng set his eyes on the "Book of Filial Piety".

Because of the small number of words.

Only less than 2000 words.

Gu Sheng quickly finished reading the "Book of Filial Piety", but this time the table was empty and nothing changed.

Gu Sheng thought about it, and then carefully studied each word.

When he carefully read the last page, another ingot appeared on the desktop with a clang.

Gu Sheng threw the "Book of Filial Piety" away with a happy face, 20 taels of silver, which is really a huge sum of money.

It's not that he has an eye for money, he copied books for people on the street, and he didn't have a tael of silver for a month.

A private school teacher earns only a dozen taels a year, plus some other income, about 20 taels of silver, which is considered to be at the upper-middle level in a county with tens of thousands of people.

Only those who have experienced the days when even rice is a luxury and can’t see meat for a few days, can they know how important money is.

"Calm down, calm down, I don't know if Yan Ruyu is playing tricks."

Gu Sheng secretly warned himself.

But the corners of his mouth almost reached the ears.

If it wasn't for Yan Ruyu, he could get money by reading books by himself, and he could live comfortably in this world.

……

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Gu Sheng hurried out with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on his back on the table.

I also brought a book with me.

"Erya", more than 13000 words.

He wants to see if he can get money by reading books elsewhere. If he can, then it has nothing to do with Yan Ruyu.

You can also feel at ease.

On the street, Gu Sheng was holding a book and rubbing his eyes. Even though his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, he still studied hard there, turning a deaf ear to everything around him.

People around him who knew him had some respect in their hearts.

It's no wonder that people can pass the Tongsheng exam in their teens. The hard work of forgetting to eat and sleep alone is not something ordinary people can do.

Keep reading the book to the last page, Gu Sheng pays attention to his surroundings.

After a while.

"click"

Gu Sheng quickly put the silver ingot into his arms.

He was finally sure that Yan Ruyu wasn't playing tricks.

"There is really Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is also a golden house in the book. The Chinese did not lie to the Chinese, and the ancients really did not lie to me!"

At this moment, Gu Sheng felt that the sky was blue, the climate was warm, the wind was mellow, and all the dogs running on the road had pretty faces.

I got up, picked up the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books and ran home. I couldn't stand it anymore and went home to sleep.

"Gu Xianggong, what are you going to do?"

"go home!"

"The table, your table is confiscated."

"No more!" Gu Sheng shouted without looking back.

You get money for reading, and Yan Ruyu, what else is there to sell?What letters do you write to people?

Only the owner of the shop next to him was left with a stunned expression on his face. What's going on with the Gu family boy today?

After knocking on the courtyard door a few times, Yan Ruyu glanced through the crack, and quickly opened the door: "Master, why are you back so early? Where is the table?"

"No more stalls, no more in the future!" Gu Sheng laughed. "I'll go back to the house to sleep first, call me at the end of the day!"

At the end of the day, that is around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Yan Ruyu heard Gu Sheng's laughter, watched him run into the house quickly, smiled, and closed the courtyard door.

……

"Young master...Young master... the end of time!"

Gu Sheng was sleepy and was shaken awake. He sat up and shook his head, finally regaining consciousness.

I touched the pillow with my hand, and when I touched three silver ingots, I immediately became sober.

"My lord, you told the slave family to wake you up at the end of the day, it's time." Yan Ruyu stood beside the bed and said.

How does Gu Sheng see Yan Ruyu at this moment?

Yan Ruyu was originally beautiful, but Gu Sheng always suspected that she was some kind of monster, so he was vigilant.

At this moment, feel relieved, facing the stunning beauty is not as repulsive as before.

I looked at the gauze skirt on Yan Ruyu's body, the skirt and sleeves were a little dirty.

Gu Sheng thought for a while and said:

"Clean up, we'll go get your clothes tailored, then go to the bookstore to buy books, and come back to buy a few catties of meat."

"Okay." Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly.

"You cover your face..." Gu Sheng said again.

This world is not modern. Walking on the street, such a woman can easily be watched by others and cause trouble.

"Okay." Yan Ruyu smiled, and took out a scarf from her sleeve to cover the lower half of her face.

Gu Sheng looked up and down, the pair of autumn-like eyes behind his face were even more attractive, and with his slim figure, it was easy to attract attention.

But it's better than before.

Since it wasn't transformed by a monster, then you have to make a suit of clothes, you can't keep wearing this suit all the time, right?

These clothes are not convenient for working, and they are also not resistant to dirt.

Walking on the street, Yan Ruyu followed Gu Sheng step by step, looked left and right, and saw that everything was new.

From time to time, he tugged at Gu Sheng's sleeve: "My lord, look there is a sugar maker."

"My lord, there are puppies for sale."

"Son..."

For the past two days, Yan Ruyu was honest and seemed very gentle.

I didn't expect to become active as soon as I came out, like a half-grown girl.

But thinking about her face, she seems to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

And it was about this age when he died in "Lu Guang's Travels".

"Do you know martial arts?" Gu Sheng suddenly thought of this question. Before that, he had always thought about living a safe life, and the test of merit was more suitable for him.

Now that livelihood is not a problem, and it seems that there is no shortage of money, Gu Sheng thinks about martial arts again, at least he can defend himself after learning.

If there is a chance to learn it, it would be better to ask an expert to learn a few martial arts.

"No." Yan Ruyu said bluntly.

"It says in the book that you learned martial arts since childhood..." Gu Sheng was a little disappointed. It seemed that Lu Guang's travel notes were just hearsay, and there was still a gap between them and the facts.

"I don't know, the past is vague and I don't remember it."

"If you don't remember, don't remember." Gu Sheng shook his head, but he didn't really care.

Since there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the Golden House is also in the book, maybe you can get something else from reading the book, such as martial arts or Taoism.

Gu Sheng now puts his mind on the book.

Going to the tailor shop on the street first, Gu Sheng made himself two blue robes, which turned pale from washing.

He also measured Yan Ruyu's size and made two cotton clothes, one white and one blue.

After all, if he wants to be pretty and filial, Gu Sheng thinks she must look good in white clothes.

Blue stain resistant...

Another person made a suit of underwear, which cost a total of 2 taels and 3 qian.

I have to say, it is really expensive.

If Gu Sheng set up a stall to write letters, contracts, and lawsuits on behalf of others, the two of them could barely eat enough, and it would be nice to be able to make a suit of clothes during the Chinese New Year.

After finishing the clothes, I went to the bookstore. To be honest, there were not many kinds of books. The most popular ones were the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as some annotations by famous authors, followed by some poems and songs.

As for novels, travel notes and the like, there are not many.

And that's his main goal.

Several books of the Four Books and Five Classics were given money, but Yan Ruyu was published in Travel Notes. Gu Sheng felt that these miscellaneous books were more suitable than the Four Books and Five Classics.

Gu Sheng went shopping for a long time, and chose five travel notes, six strange novels, and one "Tao Te Ching".

There is only one Taoist book, but there is no Buddhist book...

"It's four taels of silver in total. This "Tao Te Ching" is beautifully printed, so it's a bit more expensive..." said the bookstore owner.

"Okay." Gu Sheng took out a handful of silver locks to pay the bill.

The two walked back all the way, and went to the butcher shop to buy meat.

"One catty of pork belly, one catty of lean meat." Gu Sheng said.

While waiting for the meat to be cut, a voice next to him caught his attention.

"Have you heard? Two yamen servants died last night..."

"It's more than that, the old Li's family in the east is dead, blood is flowing all over the ground, and their hearts and livers have been ripped out."

"Didn't the cat-faced monster kill people on the street before? Why did it go to someone's house this time?"

"Hey, it's not safe to hide at home now..."

"Why hasn't the Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple come yet?"

"I heard that strange things happened in the next county, so I invited the Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple first..."

After hearing this, Gu Sheng's heart tightened. He didn't expect that cat-faced monster to go to someone's house and eat people.

……

At the entrance of the alley a little farther away, the poppiers on the two streets were chatting with their arms crossed, and glanced this way from time to time.
